Oun navy continues to ignore an thracite coal, but in the meantime the English navy has adopted "smokeless coal." The Admiralty a few days ago contracted for the quirk delivery of 250.0D0 tons of Welsh anthracite, and the operators have been notified that probably 400,000 tons additional would be required. Smokeless coal and smokeless powder should go hand in hand. The resignation of William J.

Tlie proposition of Chicago meat packing houses to erect storage ware rooms in Cuba for the distribution of American meats is but a suggestion of what Cuba may become in the future as a market for the products of the United States. In the past the West Indies have bought what they must from this country, but that was not what they might have used v.ero the possibilities of the island coaxed or the trade turned this way. Cuba is a fertile section, and if the advantages are carried to a good ac count nature has so endowed the rich territory that every acre is a fortune. Since the American troops landed In Santiago a now experience has commenced. The Cuban now is being taught the lesson of industry If he will work lie will have money. Under a new dispensation the na tural resources of Cuba will be devel oped and there is no doubt that the wants of 'lie islanders will expand iliulililsw' tin contact of the people with onergetic Americans The Cuban will Dnd when he works that lie can procure many things that in the past he has lived without, and, as it is human nature to want all we can get if we know it is to be hnd, the growing demands of an industrial Cuba ure not to be considered lightly. As the island is premitted to use its energies in reaping the bounties of ugriculture and industry, Cuba should become one of the best customers of the American producer and manufac turer; and the movement of the big Chicago meat packers toward Cuba emphasizes the conjecture that in the near future the United States should And there one of the best markets within reach. Commerce with the West Indies should increase decidedly from this time on.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION. It does not require an expert to detect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, tlie sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, tlie sallow parsnip- colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if )ou had rlicuma tisin, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it ; if after passing there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it must be at once repeated, or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes lequirmg the drawing ot ttie urine with instruments, or may run into Hright's Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great dis covery of the eminent kidney and bladdei specialist, is a positive remedy for such dis eases. Jts reputation is wonu-wiue anu n is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it.

No person with a vigorous, healthy Stomach will fall a victim to consumption. Many kidney diseases and boart troubles date their beginning from poor digestion thin, nervous jeoplo aro really su becuuso their stomachs aro out of gear; weary, languid, faded out women owo their condi tion to imperfect indigestion. When nearly every person you meet is afllictcd with weak digestion it is not sur prising that nearly cvory secret patent medicine on tho market claims to bo n cure for dyspepsia, ns well as a score of other troubles, when In fact, as Dr. Worthier says, there is but olio genuino dyspepsia cure which Is perfectly safe and reliable, and moreover, this remedy is not a patent medicine, but it is a scientific combination of pure pepsin (free from animal matter), vegetable essences, fiuit salts and bismuth. It Is sold by drug gists under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets. No oxtruvagaut claims are made for them, hut for Indigestion or any stomach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets aro far ahead of any remedy yet discovered. They act on tho food eaten, no dieting Is necessary, simply cat all tho wholesome food you want and these tablets will dlsct It. A euro re sults, bocause all tho stomach needs is a rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing tlie work of digestion. Druggists sell these tablets at CO cents per package.
